My experience at Area-51

Well me and my father were on one of our many ghost hunting trips and ended driving by Area-51. Now everyone knows of the long road that leads there,
if you don not now you know. Well we know that it was heavily armed and saw many Trucks parked in the hills around the place. So we decided to take
that road for awhile and see what happens. Ten seconds driving on the road and a truck started high-tailing it straight at us. We turned around and
got out of there!......fast

I'd love to take a drive down there and see what happens, I will be armed with my camera of course.
It's interesting that you would get charged while nearing the facility.
How close did you get to 51?

I know I've photographed that marker. I used my photo to make a Tikaboo T-shirt www.cafepress.com...
Note I don't get any money from this. I wasn't all that happy with how it turned out. I worked really hard to make it look like metal, adding noise to
the image to make it look like pitted metal. The detail from Cafepress wasn't good enough for the to show the subtle effects

Note that altitude on the marker is wrong. It was never stamped by the USGS.

Incidentally, the other t-shirt I designed turned out pretty good. Again, I make no money from this. www.cafepress.com...
I had a request for the thong. No, really. ;-)

have you tried writeing for the info like the marker sugests. im i would but i cant read it that well. if you can tell me what it says im at work and
have stamps and envlopes right here at my desk, and will be more than happy to share the info or disinfo i get in return

I found the directory with the artwork for the T-shirts and uploaded an image with the real Tikaboo marker on the left and my rendition on the right.
You can see I went through a lot of work to make it look metalic and embossed, but the T-shirt didnt come out that way. I might make one at Walmart,
since they have a more photographic process for T-shirts.

The actual altitude is on topo maps, though the number is obscured: www.acme.com...,-115.35887&z=17&t=T&marker0=37.76778%2C-116.84102%2Cn37.76778%20w116.84101&marker1=37.34425%2C-115.35887%2CN37

"Ten seconds driving on the road and a truck started high-tailing it straight at us."

its a cat and mouse game. The trick is to go in there without your lights on and go very very slow.. then begin to slowly go off road and campout
deep off the road in the desert. They will still find you but have a much more difficult time in doing so. (they drove past my position twice and you
could tell they were desperately looking for someone.) Once they give chase they will eventually turn around. At that point stop ...wait... and
again move forward.

The best part about when they give chase like this is in my believe that they are going to be launching something... so they need to move everyone out
of the valley and quick. This is perhaps the one time you want to stay put and barricade yourself but they have these super powerful spot lights and
they'll sit right in front of your car blasting into your eyes with them so kinda no win situation. What i did was slowly NOT FAST crawl away from
them as they chased me out all the while having my passenger watching the sky behind us and boy did we see some strange things.

If you want to play cat and mouse, the roads near Bald Mountain are best. I managed to get behind the dudes once. You could see the guy grinning in
his rear view mirror.

Sometimes the dudes just head out to the ET Highway and watch you from there.

Do you live in Rachel, NV. ?
If not, it's be a bit hard to "end up
driving by" Groom.

Unless you make VERY long treks.

Groom is 120 some odd miles from
Vegas, with pretty much nothing around
it.

The Little Ale'Inn has some great food,
though.

We were driving from Las Vegas to Virginia City Nevada. And we knew very well Area-51 was along the way and were planning this little escapade. As far
as not being able to see the road it is quite noticeable with the big WARNING signs and what not.

Okay I'll bite, would you care to elaborate on the 'strange things'
that you or indeed your passenger saw?

you'll have to dig through my old threads as i'm not going to hijack this one. Long story short, a LARGE red/orange plasma like sphere that rose
over the mountain hovered for a few minutes (if that) then descended behind the mountain. Happened twice. It wasnt a helicopter, but i'm not
claiming it was a alien ufo either. Just a rotating large ball (not disk) of light.

"not being able to see the road it is quite noticeable with the big WARNING signs and what not."

there are no "warning" signs near the highway and you actually have to travel 20 miles or more down groom lake road before you even see your first
warning sign. The roadS themselves have no signs and are both quite obscure.
